The thing about Ashli Babbitt that I kept saying is that, for most of history, most countries would have strung up a bunch of the J6 folks in the capitol steps as a sign. And for good reason. This is what happens when you don’t.

I think, for the sake of democracy, your country needs the latter in the near term and the former as a long term solution. It's like the gerrymandering question, you best fight fire with fire in order to rescue any semblance of democracy, but it's obviously an odious long term state of affairs.
